Popis: This article summarizes qualitative and quantitative literature specific to family involvement in children's residential treatment, highlighting the lack of specific types or methods of family therapy/interventions that might provide efficacious outcomes with this population. An overview of Family-Directed Structural Therapy (FDST) and corresponding assessment tools is presented, offering a means by which to begin to address this gap in the literature and practice knowledge. Finally, an interview with the Executive Director of a residential treatment facility successfully implementing FDST is summarized.
